Remember that we are the largest free online dating service, so you will never have to pay a dime to meet your soulmate.

I don't like the addition of my last 5 post to my profile. One, I am less apt to post on any of the sex forums as I don't want my posts taken out of context. Two, I like to seperate politics and religion from dating as much as possible. But I also like to contribute to the forums. I would rather a link to my last 25 threads if possible.

Furthermore, from an asestics perspective, it kills my profile. Please remove it or give us the option of adding it.

this last 5 posts thingy has got to go. i'm willing to raise my original contribution to the pot of one loonie to a fiver..... a whole whopping five dollars to pay you to get that crap off my profile.

i'm this close (yes, i know you can't see my fingers) to creating a new profile.

i am really really really really really and really not pleased with this new addition. with most of the other fields in the profile, i can choose 'prefer not to say', however, i have no choice with the last five posts.....

nota- ya already got a sweetie so you can say what ya please. i ain't , so i got to try to please all tha ladies out there. shux, guess i'll still have to be my naturally wonderful self after all. lol.

^^ I completely agree. My posts are a reflection of who I am and, thus, are a chance for people who want to get to know me better.

What would be nice would be a caveat at the top of that section. Something like:"5 most recent posts. The first lines shown may be taken out of context. Reading a thread in its entirety is the best way to get to know how/why these statements were made. First sentence might also be quoting someone else altogether."

My concern would not be getting taken out of context but being thought responsible for the words of some jackass that I'm quoting. I start those posts consistently with either the [ quote ] tags or quotations marks.

How about if the post starts with either of those two, it filters out the rest until the quotes are closed? That way, my "recent post" starts with my own words, not someone else's?

I still say, whatever our reasons, that we should have the choice whether or not our forum posts are on our main profile page. If we like then great, participate. If we do not then also great, it doesn't show up on our page.To each his own would be nice.

in response to admin writing: Number of users posting on the forums since the addition has doubled

Was the addition our forum postings to our profile done in order to increase forum usage?Why not just put one of those ads on the profile page?Or, why not just send mail to all your users inviting them to the forums like you do for "your matches"?

And for those who like the idea of having a link on a profile to see last posts etc = You can search in forums for anyone's online name and see their last 25 posts.

I really believe that having our last 5 posts on our page defeats the whole idea of working on making a good clear profile. You can just say "read what I have to say below". Just not esthetically pleasing. (did I spell that correctly?)

The reason that the number of posts has doubled, in my opinion, is so we can get rid of a post we dont want on our profiles.

I agree with a link to the last posts on our profiles. If someone wants to get to know you, they will get over the "too lazy to click on a link" thing.

Or maybe we should be able to shut it on and off, like we can with the IM feature. That way, if we said something that could be taken out of context, we can shut off the feature until the post is off the profile (not one of the last five posts)
